AutoCAD (Advance)

This 24 hour course covers the more advanced aspects of AutoCAD covering topics on annotation, fields, tables, dynamic blocks, sheet sets, as well as interface customization.

Topics Include:

Annotation Scale Overview: This section will familiarize attendees with annotation styles. Students will learn to control these objects at different scales, how to control their display in the model and layout tabs, and how to add and remove scales.

Using Fields: Attendees will learn to create, update, and modify fields. Students will learn about field settings, and how to use them as objects, or in blocks and attributes.

Controlling Draw Order: In this section, students will learn to use draw order with hatching and masking annotation objects. Attendees will also work with wipeout entities.

Working With Tables: The central point of this section will be to instruct attendees on how to work with the data link manager to link tables to excel files. Students will learn how to update table links as well.

Working With Dynamic Blocks: In this section, users will insert and modify dynamic blocks. Attendees will also create dynamic block definitions.

Dynamic Block Authoring Tools: This portion of the class will utilize the block editor contextual tab. Students will review, parameters, actions, and parameter sets. Attendees will learn about labeling parameters, construction geometry, constraints, and block tables.

Using Attributes: Attendees will learn what attributes are, how values are entered, and how to control visibility. Students will associate attributes with blocks, learn how to update blocks with attributes, and extract object data to a table.

Electronic Review: Students will plot to formats, such as DWF and PDF. Attendees will learn to use markups created in Design Review inside of AutoCAD.

Using Etransmit: In this section, users will learn about eTransmit setup options. Students will learn how to include or exclude file types, as well as how to treat external reference files.

Creating Hyperlinks: This section will demonstrate the use of hyperlinks. Attendees will learn to add different types of hyperlinks to entities, and what these links may access.

Introduction To Sheet Sets: In this section, attendees will learn about sheet set manager, how to create sheet sets, and sheet set properties. Students will organize sheets into subsets, and learn to create and use views.

More With Sheet Sets: In this section, attendees will create sheet sets from existing layouts. Students will import existing layouts into the set. Users will learn about archiving and publishing sets.

Customizing Sheet Sets: This part of the class will instruct students on how to create custom sheet set properties, how to create a title label block, and a callout block.
